The Philippines is blessed with a very high biodiversity, including the plants living in its remaining forest cover. Trees alone comprise about 3500 species. Just to research on a species a day would take about 10 years to finish all of just the trees. Then there are still the shrubs, herbs, ferns etc. Through this blog we hope to introduce you to some important plants in the forest before they completely disappear because of habitat destruction.

New Momentum for Orchid Sketching

My latest orchid sketch

I just went back to orchid sketching. I found this journal book with grid dots instead of lines. The paper is smooth and would accommodate the fine strokes of hard colored pencil. I could now draw complete plant profiles. In my previous sketch book, I could only do blow ups of flower details.
